My respect for FNS has gone sky high now. The guy didn’t compete for almost a year and still gave such a tough fight against a team who’s in their prime. Just a bit more firepower from Victor and team looks monstrous

Both teams have really improved, Sen is doing better than their last losing matches, FNS and s0m coming back to nrg helped them get the will and strats to get it to overtime on sunset which is super impressive already compared to their split1 performance, but they need to lock in so they can make it to playoffs.

[@ravowstrings]

The second map give me (EG game) flashbacks i nearly had an heart attack

[@pranjalkumar4708]

The fact that they had Victor play Senti is criminal.

[@forgeryoru9057]

It was a very close match, but the Sentinels were well prepared and mentally stronger. I predicted Sen would win 2-0, but NRG showed a glimpse of their former glory. Especially FNS showed just how much of a difference a seasoned IGL can have, on attack side. However, it's good to see that Zellsis and Zekken have settled in and are improving their team combo play and aim. If Sentinels can keep up this performance they will have no problem making it to Champions. NRG has aiso a chance, but they'll need to win every game from here on out to at least advance to the playoffs, so it'll be a tough road ahead.

[@namson2005]

"mentally stronger" like they almost choked an 11-3 lead. Almost gave me a heart attack

This is it right here. drop crashies ASAP

[@ethanwood1737]

Demon1 doesn’t fit flex, as he can really only play Jett and astra/brim. He doesn’t fit with the team and NRG are probably better off letting demon1 go and signing a T2 prospect if they really want to replace crashies

[@dannygrace238]

@ethanwood1737 true but the initiated role can be tossed between fns or ethan. You add demon1 u get more firepower

[@Yokeyedough]

Since Chet is going back to CS, FNS can take the coaching position and have Demon1 back in the roster.

[@CouchPotatoCrusader]

Drop FNS and make him join coaching

[@AdiKamath]

Victor overheating for that ace LMAO! xD

[@ethanwood1737]

Why is it that whenever any player doesn’t have an amazing game, there are people saying “kick this fraud, they are the problem”? The issue for NRG hasn’t been individual prowess, but more a lack of team cohesion that most newly formed teams have; give NRG time to actually prep and get comfortable as a team (like how Sentinels are at this point) and they’ll be fine, as they have a solid roster without any real role issues

I have a lot to say, but one thing I wanna say is the Lotus game, I don;t think Clove was a bad pick tbh. The issue is, NOTHING NRG had with the rest of the comp worked with clove. I think had they done Raze or something else like Sova to compliment Clove, they would've done better but glad to to see both teams experimenting nonetheless.

Why play victor when you have demon1 ...just for the synergy?

[@polyento3535]

Demon1 isn't a good entry duelist. He's like TenZ, he performs better as a second entry. Demon1 has really has good aim and has a higher chance of winning 1v1 duels and that's if he has info on the enemies, this is why he's struggling as a pure entry duelist where he has to find them, same issue with TenZ. Demon1 should play a support roll. I would replace crashies for Demon1.

Last year, I genuinely thought that Zekken wasn't the guy for SEN. I thought that SEN needed Tenz on duelist if they wanted to win any tournament. I was wrong. With time and the right team, Zekken proved to be one of the best. Maybe give Victor some time as well. He showed potential on Lotus.
